Lockdowns do not affect releases, but they often do affect FV's. Word is a zip gun and ammo were found, so the whole prison is down and searches will be conducted. No word yet on visiting.

Just in time for them to take your visits on Valentine's Day. :mad: I hope that doesn't happen and that visits aren't affected. :(

Yeah, this is all rumor at this point. Until we can get to Lt. Wamble it's all conjuncture. If the entire prison is down and if the entire prison has to be searched there is no way that can get done in 2 weeks.

So, my guess is it's either one side or the other. ;) We just have to wait to hear.

Thank you for the info. Do you know how long it will take to get the correct info?

Someone from the IFC has a call into Lt Wamble, so hopefully he will respond soon.

There seems to be conflicting info coming out, but calls are coming out from both buildings 19 and 20 both stating they are on lockdown but the day rooms are opened for calls. ???

Just have to wait for more info.

PTO-110524

02-04-2009, 06:03 PM

Good news. Lt Wamble states that the prison WAS on modified program earlier today (no reason was given) but that they are back up and programming normally, so as of now the visiting should be fine.

Continue to monitor the hotline however!!

Where are you gals getting this information? If it's from inmates on a yard not locked down, that info usually ends up being wrong.

Has anyone CALLED the prison? Anyone spoken with Wamble? :confused::confused::confused:

PTO-110524

02-18-2009, 12:23 PM

Posted on another online board.....

Yes, the institution is currently on a Modified Program; the situation is still evolving at this point, and no final determination on the extent to which the situation will effect programming for the institution through the end of the week has been made. I believe, at this point, the potential that visiting will be effected is high, but as I said, no final determination has been made.

They are on total lockdown, day room, no showers, nothing... he was shocked the phones were on (someone up there must love us). He also complained that his coffee tasted like dirt this morning. I'm thinking with all this rain there is a broken water pipe and dirt is seeping in. Just my :twocents:. I have had enough bummer things happen this week... grrrrrr I don't need one more!:(

My son is on yard 3.
1. He said that they were told by the sargeant today that they will be on modified program until March. He said it was the mysterious zip gun again. Nothing was said about visiting, though.
2. The sarge said they were trucking water in from the city, but my son said it tastes like sewer water.
3. They have changed the counselors for yard three for the 3rd time in two months.
What's going on down there?

My love got a ducket for TB test again. If just one comes up positive they are likely to lockdown the specific yard and/or the entire prison:eek:.

Please be sure to call the hot line before traveling to visit! It's usually updated on Thursday or Friday morning.

My son mentioned the lockdown yesterday. What's that about? Sorry you are missing visits with your fella'.:(
The scuttlebutt is there were weapon(s) (a knife or knives) found somewhere on 1 &/or 2 yards and evidently it is connected to the Blacks & N. Hispanics. Not sure how come both yards are affected but it's also affecting yards 3 & 4 because they don't have enough guards to go around and the guys on the level 2 side are suffering as well. They haven't been kept from visiting but my guys on 4 and said yesterday they've been down for a few days now.

Like I said it's just the scuttlebutt.... totally classified as rumor.

I'm sorry to have to report more "not so good" scuttlebutt! When I talked to my guy this afternoon he said he heard that they are only 1/2 done searching one of the two yards. They had to pull staff from his yard (which is on lockdown again today) to take the in-mates on yards 1&2 their dinners.

Again... just rumor!
